Deputies conducting investigation at home in Pueblo West where two bodies were found Aug. 14, 2017.

A woman and her 10-year-old daughter were found dead Monday afternoon in their Pueblo West home.

The pair have been identified as Jennifer Hamula, 42, and Stephie Hamula, according to the Pueblo Coroner’s Office. Two dead dogs were also found in the home.

The Hamulas “appeared to have suffered gunshot wounds,” according to a Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office news release. “The official cause and manner of death is pending the outcome of the autopsies.”

The sheriff’s office said it believes there are no further “threats to the community at large” related to the incident.

Deputies were sent at about 4:20 p.m. to a home in the 1000 block of Mescal Drive on a welfare check and the bodies of the mother, daughter and two dogs were found inside. A search warrant was issued at about 8:15 p.m. Monday. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation is assisting with the investigation.

“This is a very tragic situation. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of the deceased,” Sheriff Kirk Taylor said in the release. “We will continue to follow the evidence to determine the sequence of events and the circumstances surrounding these tragic deaths.”
